My heart goes out to the family. I remember fun times as a teenager at Paradise Lanes. I also remember Mr. Corwin as a band parent. He was a very nice man. Beth McDowell Burns Paul G. Blazer Class of '76

I was deeply saddened when I saw Bill's name in the obituaries this morning, but I was also relieved to know that he was no longer suffering. I know without a doubt in my mind that I grew up in the best neighborhood in Ashland, and Bill was a very big reason for that. I can't count the times that us neighborhood kids would finish a game of basketball, wiffle ball, or whatevergame we would be playing at the time, and go sit on Bill's porch, and listen to Marty and Joe call the Reds games. Bill was one of the nicest, and most generous men I have ever known. When I was his paperboy he always gave me a tip, and also a very generous gift at Christmas time. I know he will be deepy missed by all that knew him. My prayers go out to all his family, who I count myself very fortunate to have gotten to know. May God comfort you all during this sad, and difficult time.
